Things I did today:

[kangeiko]

1) I wore my new silk summer dress. Navy blue, with white polka dots, A-line, beautiful, and very very expensive (too expensive, in fact; I haven't finished paying for it). Felt like a princess. Or at least someone Not Poor.

2) Snagged the exquisite silk of the exquisite silk dress. Tried to kill self. Smoothed snag out. Decided that, as it was two-layer, woven silk, it wouldn't actually show. Did not kill self.

3) Went to the Henley Women's Regatta (hence the glamour), sipped drinks, ate barbeque and was Employed, Glamorous and Flirtatious with several new hires starting at Employers soon. More to the point, was very flirtatious with exceptionally cute friend they had brought along, who was, in no particular order:

a) 6'2"

b) blue/grey eyes

c) tall and broad

d) an ex-rower

e) had a political theory background

and

f) wanted financial experience to then move into the NGO sector.

Did I mention he was a honey? Oh yeah. A good time was had. I made a special point to befriend his friends, and he lives reasonably close, and - ok, I didn't throw my number at him, but as he'd just moved to the country from South Africa I figured I'd give him a chance to find a house first before I move in via his friends (who have started work already and are therefore on the email list) who think I'm great.

And, also, glamorous.

4) On my way home, I was stared at by some creepy guy who was facinated by my chest. I went to wrap my borrowed wrap around me, and then realised I'd left my borrowed wrap (or, athena25's wrap, to be more precise) on the Henley train. Blast. I now owe her a new wrap.

5) I nearly broke my feet trying to wear shoes that went with my glamorous dress but were just not the right shape for my feet. I gave in and bought Elle, which had gold flipflops which went with my outfit. I win.

6) I got home, showered, watched Doctor Who, realised I'd burnt (WTF????) despite factor 109456754674 suncream and a tent overhead, and checked my mail.

7) my mail contained a cheque from Inland Revenue, giving me a tax rebate. I now have £200 more pounds than I did three minutes ago. This will pay for the uber-expensive dress I have yet to pay for.

I am win. That is all.
